Centering a title in a word processor (by A.R.)

 

Definition of Goal: To explain to somebody how to center a title without using the direct action key that centers the page.

 

Steps in order to achieve this goal: Method 1 (If using a Microsoft Word Document)

 

1.) Highlight all of the information you wish to center. This is done by clicking the mouse directly in front of the first word, and then dragging it to the end. If done correctly, you will notice that the background of the words will be a different color than the remainder of the document.

 

2.) Click on the Format Tab (located at the top of the document; the Format tab should be the fifth tab from the left).

 

3.) Locate the button that reads "Paragraph" (second from the top), and when highlighted, click on it. Note: In this case, highlighting is accomplished by simply moving the mouse to a specific location.

 

3.) The second section on the opening box will read "Indentation". Adjust the arrow keys on the left and right accordingly, but it is important to be sure that both are equal in number. On the bottom of the box is a demonstration of how the words will be formatted when using the specified indentation.

 

4.) Click "OK" on the bottom of the box in order to execute the specified operations.

 

Note: If you want the remainder of the document to not follow the same indentation, move the pointer to the end of the last word. Press "Enter" a few times (based on your judgment). Then reformat the indentation by repeating steps 2-4
